The guiltless (tou anaitiou). So in verse 2 Samuel 5 . Common in ancient Greek. No real ground against, it means an + aitio. Jesus quotes Hosea 6:6 here as he did in Matthew 9:13 . A pertinent prophecy that had escaped the notice of the sticklers for ceremonial literalness and the letter of the law.
